Abstract
To find out a good candidate of cosmetic source and screened for antimicrobial, antioxidant and whitening activities. In the antioxidant experiment, supercritical Halopteris scoparia extraction (SHE) and hydrothermal Halopteris scoparia extraction (HHE) were slightly different depending on the experimental method (Total polyphenol content measurement, DPPH radical scavenging ability, ABTS radical scavenging ability, and SOD-like activity) and in the enzyme experiment (Elastase, Tyrosinase inhibition activity), the supercritical extract was more effective. In supercritical fluid, Halopteris scoparia extracts showed good antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli but hydrothermal extract had no effect about the rest of the strains. Therefore, it can be expected that the supercritical Halopteris scoparia extract with excellent antibacterial activity can be used as a cosmetic material.
Highlights
Recognition of cosmetics is gradually deviating from the category of “products used to clean or beautify the human body and preserve skin or hair in good health”, and attention is focused on how to grow younger and healthily with age
The emergence of functional cosmetics has emerged, and materials that are safe for the human body have been gradually developed, enabling the development of sanitary aid and functional cosmetics
Hydrothermal extraction and solvent extraction are mainly used to obtain high purity functional extracts required in the cosmetics and food industry, and solvent extraction methods are used often to obtain various active ingredients
